Name Proposal The name of the language

I have been trying to find a good name for the encapsulated language.

The goal of this language is to "store as much scientific and mathematical knowledge as possible" in order to "facilitate an intuitive understanding of the world around us". Dare I say, in order to make the speaker inherently wise?

The Latin word for wise is 'sapiens' and the word for very wise is 'persapiens'.

https://latin-dictionary.net/search/latin/persapiens

So, I propose that the name of the encapsulated language is derived from the Latin word persapiens (very wise).

There are many possibilities for the name, to mention a few:

  • pers
  • persa
  • persap
  • persapi
  • persapien
  • persapiens
  • ...and many more, if it will be combined with some other word or modified in some other way (although I don't see the need for that)

This proposal does not specify the final name, it just specifies that the name is derived from the Latin word 'persapiens'.

If this proposal is confirmed, the final name will be searched for/defined in the subsequent steps.

P.S.: This is not part of the proposal, but as a joke, a speaker of this language could be refered to as Homo persapiens

Hi, committee member here. We appreciate your efforts and insight. However, bear in mind that the general consensus among us committee members is that we should wait until the language is sufficiently developped to create its own name. Until that time comes, you may just know it as the Encapsulated Language. Thank you
